+Updating the upstream source
+============================
+
+1) Start by downloading a kernel tarball from kernel.org
+   (ie, linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2) and, optionally, a patch
+   (i.e. patch-2.6.26-rc3.bz2).
+
+2) Run ./debian/bin/genorig.py <tarball> [patch]. This will produce
+   ../orig/linux-2.6_<version>.orig.tar.gz
+   (i.e. linux-2.6_2.6.26~rc3.orig.tar.gz).
+
+3) Unpack linux-2.6-<version>.orig.tar.gz, cd into the new directory,
+   and do a 'svn export' to get the debian/ subdirectory.
+   Alternatively unpack using "make -f debian/rules orig".
